    This has happened at least 3 times. Things that businesses do to lose business.
    Bernard O.

    This review would've easily been 4 stars but this happened more than couple of times. They still use the Cajun Crackin on doordash but the restaurant is named differently. It is either the employees are not doing their job measuring the seafood or they are on purposely cheating the customers. You guys need to do better. There is something called integrity and honesty. I went to an actual Cajun Crackin in Milpitas and when they brought out the shrimp I thought it was underweight as well. For almost $20 you'd think you'll be getting your money's worth.

    They serve your seafood bag on a plater tray! Love it

    Food Super delicious and their sauce was pretty good. I ordered the shrimp (where you have the options of having the head on or removed) Ordering was simple as their menu walked you through the steps how to customize your choices. Service Friendly and attentive by the waitress/host/bartender Ambience Such much decorating details where it screamed you're in a seafood restaurant with a nice theme. So far my favorite crawfish/seafood finger eating restaurant

    This spot was previously Cajun Crackin but they rebranded a couple weeks ago. Cajun Crackin wasn't reported as closed so we were super confused when we arrived to the plaza. The front windows and doors show pics of seafood so we decided to just go ahead and give this place a shot for lunch. On a Thursday at 12:30, this place was completely empty. The inside is pretty big, but when you're the only customers, it's a weird feeling. They have a nice bar, and the bathrooms and dining area are clean so kudos to that. Our waitress was just the sweetest girl, but there seemed to be some miscommunication with the kitchens, which she was super apologetic for. We ordered a dozen oysters, garlic noodles, fries, lemon pepper wings, a pound of cajun shrimp and rice. After we got our order in, she came back to say they were out of oysters so we subbed for fried calamari. The food came out one dish at a time, and there was a small wait between each item. After we got half our food, she said they were out of garlic noodz. We were really disappointed but nothing we could do now. Then after we got all our food, she came back and said they DO have garlic noodz now if we want them... lol We really did want the garlic noodz so we said ok and that took about another 15 min to come out. All the food was hot and fresh but everything was just super breaded and heavy. The lemon pepper wings were light on the lemon pepper and had so much breading. Each wing felt so dense. It was crunchy though! The fried calamari come in rings and the inside was super tender, not really chewy at all, but once again, way heavily breaded. Their house sauce for the shrimp was good but not spicy at the medium level. It had a nice garlic flavor and was great with some lemon squeezed into it. Some of our shrimp had black spots, and were over cooked so a bit hard to peel. I think if this was spicier, it would have been a pretty decent sauce. They were really stingy with the sauce though, and no garlic chunks in sight. The garlic noodles were worth the wait. They were piping hot, and made with a thin spaghetti noodle. Super garlicky and flavorful, but I do appreciate a thicker chow mein type of noodle for more bite. Pour some of the cajun sauce over this and you got a fire combo. All in all, this spot is decent. I prefer more of an Asian Cajun, like Boiling Crab, but I think it has potential especially with the full bar. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service we received, as the waitress was really nice about everything. Do expect a bit of a learning curve though as the staff appears to be new, as its all under new management. It took a while for us to pay the check and leave because the CC processor was having some issues with the paper. They were able to offer text receipt though so it was fine. FYI- She did mention the menu would be changing soon in the next couple months.

    Clam chowder
    Vanessa T.

    Food is so delicious , we had the clam chowder, combo #1 so we got crawfish mussels & shrimp w/out the head the combo is perfect size & it's a good option for 2+, sweet potato fries . We got the sauce with all the flavors and mild it was really good not as greasy as other places. Micheladas were perfect they have a full menu of diff alcohol menu Definitely check this place we didn't have to wait hours like other boiling places & service they are very friendly and serve your food quickly. First time here and will deff come back and recommend it with friends and family

    Crawfish
    Nini M.

    Such a good combo deal. I got the special 1 and added crawfish. The flavor was great! I got the combo flavor. The garlic noodles was okay, i didn't like the noodles they used. The service was okay, very slow for not a busy day. We also had the Michelada which was pretty good. Overall I'd come back. The place is huge!! With a bar and everything.

    This was a bag for our dinner leftovers.  They are not Cajun Crack'n. I felt scammed.
    Aj J.

    Hurts my soul to leave this review, but I don't want anyone else to get scammed. They leverage the 4 start rating from the Cajun Crack'n yelp profile to get customers. For starters, the name has been changed for longer than a year, yet the Cajun Crack'n yelp profile has not been updated. The restaurant is clean and somewhat aesthetically pleasing. The food mediocre. Nothing special if you've dined a other similar seafood restaurant's that offered boils. It's not worth the trip. Now let me share my experience. This was my first time visiting with my family which included two toddlers. After we ordered our food the lights went out and no one acknowledged it. The staff kept operating as if it was a regular occurrence. (Imagine eating in the dark) Once our food came out it was hot, but wrong. We ordered two boils, the ticket on the bag was correct, but the contents included ingredients that we were allergic to. (Lucky, I had my epipen on deck) After we politely notified our waiter, a new order was placed.... Still wrong. Now at this point the kids are screaming because they are staving and everyone is moving at a slow glacier like pace. Very disappointing. Everyone makes mistakes totally understandable, but it's how you deal with the issue to rectify the situation that matters. The place had the potential to be great, but don't you dare waste your time or money.

    Seafood boil with good quality seafood and perfectly cooked?! I couldn't have asked for a better new restaurant to try. Apparently they are currently having their soft opening, with their grand opening to follow towards the end of April. By the looks of it, you wouldn't know that they just barely opened. The restaurant was quite crowded, steadily increasing from the time we arrived to when we left. The service was very attentive. Our server Kevin constantly checked on us before, after, and in between each dish. The drinks were absolutely amazing too. Here is what we ordered: Paloma--10/5. NEW FAVORITE DRINK EVER. I've never had a Paloma made like this before. It came in a very cute clay cup too Garlic noodles--5/5. This dish is made with spaghetti noodles and is garlicky yet buttery. Some places make it just too garlic heavy but it's just right here. Bonus points if you pour the seafood boil sauce into the noodles Soft shell crab basket--6/5. Cajun fries and soft shell crab were perfectly crisp and stayed that way the whole time we were there Shrimp in spicy house special sauce--5/5. My friends call me a seafood connoisseur and a seafood snob and this place did not disappoint. I love seafood boil but at most places, the quality of the seafood is poor, overcooked, or usually both. Here, the seafood didn't have any overly fishy smells. Usually, head on shrimp tends to get mushy very easily but it was perfectly cooked and snappy. I'd recommend asking for additional sauce on the side so that you can bathe your de-shelled seafood in it Clams in spicy house special sauce--10/5. I was absolutely speechless by the cook on the clams. It was nice and juicy and the additional clam essence in the house sauce made it that much better When it's crawfish season, you bet I'll be back to update my review hehe TLDR: amazing quality seafood, drinks, and service. You won't be disappointed going here to satisfy your Cajun cravings

    Food is good, service is okay but a bit overpriced. No free refills which is a rip off. Wouldn't go back - much better options around.

    If you're new to the game or are too self conscious to visit a more serious setting, fairway zone…read moreis the perfect place to start. This is more of a sports bar setting with TV's everywhere so you don't have to worry about judgmental staff or uptight players. Chances are everyone is too busy watching "the game" to notice your crappy swing. The sim, although tricky and hard to read if you've only played real courses, is accurate and offers a ton of feedback. Gameplay supports up to 4 players unless you set up the golf range setting, then it's basically open season. Only 2 bays available by reservation so plan accordingly. There are some loner clubs if you don't have your own otherwise bringing your set is recommended. We had a bunch of appetizers that were all excellent. We came on a slow night too so no issues with drinks/food orders but I can see that being an issue when it gets lively(then again what restaurant doesn't have this issue when busy?). To my understanding this place just went through a menu/renovation refresh so look to the newest pictures for the most up to date info.

    The ambiance and décor are nice -- and that's about where the positives end. When we sat down and…read moreopened the menu, several items were crossed out or scribbled over, so the food options I had seen on Yelp were no longer available. We had two different servers come to our table who didn't seem to be communicating with each other. As a result, we never received an order of sliders, yet they still appeared on our bill. The bartender also struggled with very basic cocktails. A simple cosmopolitan and a lemon drop -- both extremely common drinks -- seemed to cause confusion, which was surprising. As for the food, it was nothing memorable. One friend ordered a smash burger that was so smashed it included the bun, which I've never seen before. The wings I ordered were small and underwhelming -- five wings for $15 felt overpriced and disappointing. Overall, I don't understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp. I left pretty disappointed. The only thing that seems to keep people coming back is the scantily clad servers rather than the food or service.

Came here once for my friend's birthday party. Him and his roommate bought a bottle; I didn't ask what they paid. I honestly got super drunk and enjoyed their live DJ who was playing dubstep while the TV screens were playing EDC sets The girls here are sooo hot. There were so many and such a wide variety! Some even had costumes on so if you like sexy nerds or bunnies, or whatever, you're going to like this place. A lot of ABGs as well. All the girls were super nice. When I arrived, I saw policemen talking to security at the door and then they just left... Makes me wonder what this place pays them haha. My friend's roommate got super drunk so my friend and I walked him out to make sure he got into his Uber safely. When we went back inside, they had already cleared our table! Even took our bottle! They said to us: "once you leave your table, you can't come back!" So that's why I'm giving this place 4 stars. Overall, since they force you to buy a bottle, you are for sure getting drunk and you are for sure going to have a GREAT time, because the music is lit and the girls are sexy! I will definitely have to go back soon!! To anyone who's wondering if there were any other girls whom were customers... no. I was the only girl haha. All the guys in there were definitely looking at me

Since that night, it has become the only seafood boil spot that I consistently come back to. My go-to order is the shrimp and crawfish with their Sweet California sauce, along with a side of garlic noodles. The Sweet California sauce is what keeps me returning. It's not your typical Cajun seafood boil sauce--it has a unique flavor that's completely its own and sets this place apart from every other seafood boil restaurant I've tried. Depending on when you visit, the restaurant can either be packed or nearly empty. It's a smaller space, and large parties tend to come through often, so wait times can vary. One thing to keep in mind is that the host, server, and food runner are often the same person. Because of that, I always try to give them some grace. If you need something, just let them know, and they'll do their best to take care of you as quickly as possible. Don't let the small exterior fool you--this place is absolutely delicious. Whether it's 11 a.m. or 3 a.m., I'll happily find myself back here for another seafood boil.

Both being huge fans of seafood and Cajun food, I looked up what was close by on the way home. This spot was small and jam packed busy at almost 9pm when we got there. Moderately decorated but not really Cajun themed 3/5. I ordered mussels and he ordered shrimp, plus some wings on the side. The service was quick, almost too quick, and I felt a bit rushed to order. I'm sure it's because they were packed and were trying to turn as many tables as possible, but it still felt a bit much, service gets a 3.75/5. I ordered my muscles sweet California style and wood ordered his shrimp spicy Cajun. Mine were perfect hard 5/5 for flavor, cook, and presentations. Woods shrimp was a 4.75/5 because it was a bit too spicy. The wings were basic flavor but well cooked, 4/5. Overall I give this place a 4/5
